Bones Kickstarter #2 Discussion

[Finarfin]

 

 

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!

 

If you do, I´ll too!

...you're going to detonate your dishwasher? O.o

 

...I want video of this.

 

Challenge Accepted!

 

 

Just forgive my english, as you can see, not my mother language...

 

Noooo vertical video nooooo

 

But the fact that the sponge was fighting back was fun

[Pingo]

@Pingo, what the holy hand grenade is up with your comments on Kickstarter? Avant garde nonsequitur surrealist performance art? Or are you trading movie quotes with someone I didn't notice?

Late reply, sorry. It was a medly of quotes from Mystery Science Theater 3000. There had been a flurry of discussion of MST3K, then I got carried away with enthusiasm even as the conversation ceased being silly, so I was saying these very odd things as more serious people were discussing logistics.

Meh Squee Toes

I'm from Florida. I know Meh Squee Toes.

 

And I think a giant Mosquito would freak my players out more than giant spiders. They've gotten used to giant spiders.

 

Maybe someday there will be a bones mosquito and I can have a swarm of them. Muhahahahaha!

 

Wouldn't that just be a swarm of Stirges?

 

I don't know if Stirges are trademarked.

 

And if they're in a Mutants and Masterminds, they're giant mosquitos.

[ladystorm]

*shrugs* doesnt really matter I never posted much then anyway...just weird that they arent there.

various forum migrations have eaten some of the oldest of the posts and threads over the years.

and sometimes, settings just don't show things that really are in there somewhere; you have to really dig to access them.

 

some of the necro'd threads surprise us when resurrected, not so much in the resurrecting, but that they were located in the first place to arise again.

 

it happens.

Introducing Expansion 2 with just the teaser of a few cool minis only to follow up by introducing another expansion is not only a bit of a bummer to me it makes me worry that I may have jumped the gun with my pledge and that they will not have enough time to flesh out both expansions to make it worth more than just spending the $50 piecemeal.

Reaper has said that they have a contingency plan for if a CE doesn't get fully unlocked, though they haven't specified details.

Here we go... a chaser to my previous sketch. Yes, they're related. ;)

Ah, but sir, you missed the "previous sketch".

 

Let me help you:

Well, I have no weeping angels (that I can show you, so we can neither confirm nor deny their existence, so don't blink), but here's a Time Lord - er, Lady - er, character for you.

That bit of Circular Gallifreyan says "Korsair." Presumably a reference to The Corsair, especially given the Ouroboros. And that sketch looks very, ah, Sexy, if you catch my drift...

 

Absolutely catchin' your drift. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the sketches.

[OneBoot]

Blah, insomnia strikes again. So, without further ado...

*cracks knuckles*

Alright, chums, let's do dis.

LEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIINS!

Yesterday (for you I suppose it was afternoon?) we talked about an art book. Do you think that would be possible? If not in print, than as a pdf perhaps?

Izzy "Talin" Collier about 4 hours ago
@Antonia: One will happen, not by the end of this kickstarter, but I am trying to sort through... um, 16 years' worth of sketches... to see if anything is worth printing. ;)

Izzy "Talin" Collier about 4 hours ago
When the art book is ready (Ooooh, look at that optimism! How cute!), I'll make sure that Reaper sends out an e-mail to all their Kickstarter backers. Because 99% of what's in it will probably wind up being Reaper concept sketches.

*Waves at Antonia* Still on - just running back and forth. Cooking a microwave pizza and re-scanning yesterday's Ogre.

If the last Reaper KS is a rough guideline, the minis will come pre-assembled (unless they are large minis), and will be poly-bagged. The larger add-on minis may or may not come in small boxes of their own, depending on if the extra ounce or three doubles the shipping price (no lie; it happened a lot last time).

@Gene And *what* were you busy sculpting, pray tell?

@OG - I told you last night. It's a "spoiler" on a "spoiler"!

Baph - Julie just sent me a pic of a sculpt featuring a pissed off female model with a scar across her face, right over her right eye.

Ron Hawkins about 8 hours ago
Across her right eye.

Water? Check. Earth? Check. Fire? Check. Air...where did air go?

Ron Hawkins about 8 hours ago
Look, all I'm saying is that almost anything is possible if we hit enough stretch goals. :)

Ron Hawkins about 8 hours ago
We're filming tomorrow morning. This week's been *crazy*!
~~~~~~~~~~
Ron Hawkins about 9 hours ago
it just went so fast initially that we couldn't keep up. BTW, silhouettes may return...
~~~~~~~~~~
Tyler Witter about 9 hours ago
Here's hoping for both a big bag of bases, and a bag of big bases, in the core set. :D

Ron Hawkins about 9 hours ago
You never know what a Trick card will bring...

Baphomet about 9 hours ago
@Ron - howzabout square bases for the Warlords in the room?

Ron Hawkins about 9 hours ago
Baph - Magic 8 Ball says, "Not likely". Doh!
~~~~~~~~~~
Ron Hawkins about 9 hours ago
@Adam - it would be awful to not have your larger figures on bases, wouldn't it? :)
~~~~~~~~~~
Ron Hawkins about 9 hours ago
BTW - everyone who's digging the shipping containers can thank Darryl Roberds in our paint department for lobbying for it. And, the prototype shown in the photo was put together by our fearless leader, Ed Pugh!

Ron Hawkins about 9 hours ago
Also, the dumpster prototype was constructed by Kevin "I sculpted C'thulhu" Williams, and Darryl (again) built the ammo locker.

Ron Hawkins about 9 hours ago
Oh, and Chris Lewis built the police call box.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ron Hawkins about 9 hours ago
@Dan - More modern terrain, huh? Well, let's look on the workbench and see...
~~~~~~~~~~
Ron Hawkins about 9 hours ago
Yes, the Raster is a mount.

Reaper Miniatures about 12 hours ago
All the people upset that Core didn't get anything, did anybody remind them that Core just got 3 goals in a row? and Orange hasn't seen anything in $300,000?

Reaper Miniatures about 12 hours ago
I should point out that this NOT the first time that no visible Core Goals have been on the Board.
One data point is not a trend.
~~~~~~~~~~
Chris Heismann about 12 hours ago
@Reaper - Since they aren't technically Bones, is there any chances the Bases will be availabe via retail before the KS actually ships?
Would love to have those sooner, rather than later.

Reaper Miniatures about 12 hours ago
@Chris - we will be getting several molds of Bases, but the specific ones from this KS will not be released to retailers before they are shipped to backers.
~~~~~~~~~~
Reaper Miniatures about 12 hours ago
@Corey - smaller goals easier to hit. We basically cut the Expansions into 6 goals instead of 3, and divided the models into 6 groupings instead of 6. This way goals get hit more often and everybody stays happy.
~~~~~~~~~~
Reaper Miniatures about 12 hours ago
@James - we have several more Core goals left to reveal.
~~~~~~~~~~
Alan about 13 hours ago
@Reaper -- Any chance of a Concept Art stretch goal? Even if it's just a PDF?

Reaper Miniatures about 13 hours ago
@Alan - it has been discussed, but our focus at the moment is on the two Expansions.
~~~~~~~~~~
doremicom about 15 hours ago
I was so ready to not add more money to this kickstarter, then you guys go and add Expansion #3.... will it continue to be non dungeon terrain. I really could use more terrain for Infinity.

Reaper Miniatures about 15 hours ago
@Doremicom - there is some non-terrain planned for that Expansion. And some more terrain. Mostly modern/sci-fi themed pieces, as opposed to a "terrain" ex-pac.
~~~~~~~~~~
William Ward about 15 hours ago
@reaper: Just saw the update, and the posts are going fast, so sorry for what is likely a repeat question. Does the expanded Numenéra license include the character figures as well?

Reaper Miniatures about 15 hours ago
@William ward - at this time, the plan for the character figures is metal, although with 10 days to go, we have time to adapt.
~~~~~~~~~~
Robert Ball about 15 hours ago
@Reaper.. Will the Weapons locker be Hollow or Solid ?

Reaper Miniatures about 15 hours ago
@Robert - the prototype we have is hollow, but we have not yet discussed it with the engineers to see how they will mold it (multi-part, hollow, doors, etc.)
~~~~~~~~~~

It was quite the party over there last night, lots of Reaper folks hanging out and being awesome. There is a possibility that I may have missed things from the Guthrie-Ridolfi sculpting team, since they just have the generic blue squares icon, and I was scanning for icons. I also got a shout-out from Corporea, that made me feel cool.

 

By the way, if the format I've been posting the comments in is too hard for people to read, I can try and figure out something different.

 

Huzzah!

--OneBoot :D

[klarg1]

Thanks, OneBoot. It seems like the KS boards are full of Reaper folks at the times when I am either too busy to look, or asleep. I appreciate your summaries.

[Thrym]

Excellent Battle Cry for Diving into the KS Comments, OneBoot!

 

Now, remember, you must have chicken handy for such things.

 

I personally get tired of sifting through the stuff on the KS comments so thank you for the culling of the comments, OneBoot.

[smokingwreckage]

Oneboot, that is awesome. You're awesome.

[dsmiles]

I personally get tired of sifting through the stuff on the KS comments so thank you for the culling of the comments, OneBoot.

No kidding. SO MANY comments.

Part of it is the whining. My kids are grown. No more whining.

 

And you can only read the same arguments so many times before you want to yell at someone.

 

So for my sanity, I only post there about very specific things when someone notifies me about it.

 

So props again to OneBoot for not losing their mind when going through it all.

[cthulhudarren]

 

Nah. I had to get rebudget my entire life but still came out in the black. Unfortunately the $400 had originally slotted for this got reduced to about $20. I don't think I could have lived with myself if I didn't go in for at least a Kraken, especially since I begged for one. If I can squeeze in more I definately will.

The news that the pledge manager is planned to be open until the end of the year could help you squirrel away a little more funds. I have had some car repairs that have eaten up some of my funds, but hopefully can bounce back with even more over the next couple of months.

 

I will be pledging as much as I possibly can during the KS, though. We need those stretch goals :)

 

I have been working on my handyman skills around the house and with cars to help with $$$. I just replaced my own garbarge disposal last week, It should have been an easy job, but it was all rusted together and it took cursing and a hammer to get it apart. The new one works beautifully, no leaks too. Next I work on the brakes on my truck.

 

These are good skills to have for the zombie apocalypse.

[Loim]

Ugh. I hate Leeroy Jenkins so much. And Pals 4 Life. One the other hand, Oneboot is awesome for culling out the good stuff for us.

[cthulhudarren]

 

It doesn't seem to matter what happens, someone on the Kickstarter comments will complain bitterly.

 

It's like death and taxes. Inevitable.

 

 

All squeeing aside (Policeee box! Eeeeeee!) I have a fairly straight forward way of deciding if I'm going to pledge for a 'group' of minis. In the case of this KS it would be for the core, or each expansion. I snag a picture of the group, and drop it in Photoshop. I then look at each mini I would want to buy and compare it to the company's catalog and write over it my best guess for the eventual price. If there isn't something similar, I guess based on other miniatures/other lines/other companies. I only write down prices for the ones I want.

 

Then I total them. If the stuff I want adds up to more than the cost of the group, I buy it. If it's less, I wait for retail.

Wow. Very thorough!

I had some critiques of the oni-girl monk yesterday because she seemed kind of demure. The new version is serious awesomeness. I really really want one.
